When the branch had all the boys but Nick and Anna and they go and try to save them it was kind of hard to understand because they kill people and you dont really know whats going on so you just like reread it over again to make sure you got it all right because there is so much going on at one time. But after you re-read it a couple times you get that Conner is dead and riley is hurt and they all escape and live happily ever after for what we know so far in the first book cant wait to read the second one and find out what happens next.
